All right, we can get started. Welcome to prime time with Prime.
First of all, a couple of shout outs.
So shout out to everyone who's been editing the Wiki.
It's been great to see a particular note.
There is, uh, let me just get that name correctly. 9890.
They've been doing basically a lot of, like grunt work, basically getting
stubs set up and stuff like that. Um, the wiki lock is just full of them.
Shout out to Epsilon
who's been, um, working on making a calm, uh, component and proto
flux nodes look cool.
Um, and then everyone else is editing.
There's far too many to go through, um, directly. Oh, and, uh, Shri
and
oi for accidentally becoming wiki moderators.
It was entirely accidental, but there we go.
Um,
thank you.
Let me, uh, at tag the office sales group so that we know that, uh,
we're getting started, and then I'll go off questions.
Right? Uh, let's do questions. Uh,
poly doobly
doo.
Um
Trism
says, what's something you're looking forward to most now?
The wiki's been released.
Uh, literally not working on the wiki like the wiki was, uh,
a big thing that needed to happen.
And now it's happened. I can
choose to work on it
each day. Right? So
maybe today I don't want to work on the wiki.
And maybe tomorrow I wanna go ham and and edit the wiki.
So it's it's good that now I have the option.
I actually paused
a lot of work I was doing on other matters to just get the
wiggy out of the way because you guys were lynch mobbing me about it.
Um, so
do keep that in mind when you, uh, set up subsequent lynches, right?
But we're we're doing our best.
Uh, we just got a lot to do, So yeah, it's up and running.
Uh, thanks to everyone that's helping out,
uh, moving forwards
to, uh, Lex's question. He says, Do you have any involvement in this year's M MC?
Yes. You can expect the usual involvement from me. Um, I'm already,
uh, helping out on a variety of things, and I'm trying to get the the voting system
ready and done before voting opens this this year.
Um, I always make it, but it'd be good if I, like, had it, you know, signed,
Sealed delivered.
Um,
uh, you know, a lot before,
Um, because that way we'd be able to chill out about that.
There is AAA change in that. We've removed one category and added another category.
I do need to go edit the wiki. Um, the wiki edit the, um
uh, the categories
to make that work.
Uh, as he says, How are you liking the sheer amount of edits on the wiki? Yeah,
um, making that wiki log channel is like the best decision.
I think that's been made forever.
I think the the like wiki, um, issue itself has whoever recommended that?
So let me just go there.
Uh, tis foolish. Yep. They asked for the the discord wiki extension, and, you know,
it's turned into a sort of, like weird,
uh, game. Almost. So there we go.
Um,
as he says is the internal team wiki using the same base as our public
wiki? No, the internal team wiki is just a github
wiki.
Um, we use github for, like, way too much, and, uh, we need to, like,
evaluate tools and and see if we want to move off to other tools, et cetera.
Uh, but sometimes, like discussing tools or changing tools.
Uh, just gets in the way of things, right?
Um,
it's like Does does the wiki that we're using right now help? Absolutely.
Um, isn't the internal one.
Will it scale? Absolutely not. But like, it's fine for now.
We can we can focus on on other.
Well, you see, Ozzie, um,
Ozzie asked,
uh that they wanted to see if a possible moderation only wiki could be the same.
I actually kind of wanna like I.
I I'm trying to sort of figure out when to to approach moderation
and start talking about this like I've mentioned it a few times before.
But like there's no reason that Moderations like policies, guidelines handbook,
etcetera can't be public.
Um, in being public,
it's It's the same as the the laws of of
the countries that you guys lives in being public,
right?
Um, if if the handbook,
which was like here's how a moderator's going to handle a report that comes in
was public, it would give transparency to that process.
Um, of course, never any details or or who or who did what, et cetera.
But just like here's what happens when a ticket comes in.
Here's the guidelines and the policies that the moderation have, um,
have been have been looking into et cetera III I don't I don't see any problem with it.
It's great. Um, I
can't remember which project does it.
Uh, I think it's like one of the Mozilla projects does it where they like.
The whole governance is sort of like open source, and you can take a look at it,
file issues on it and make PR S to it.
All sorts of stuff like that.
So yeah, I, I don't think like, you know,
we obviously keep all data about actual tickets, um,
to the ticket system in private,
but I don't think anything about how
operates should be private.
Uh, epic Eastern says,
uh, Prime Minister is really a question more of an observation.
But I notice how people on social media
and steam reviews mention how there isn't any content
or or not much of it. And I don't really know why.
How much more content do we have until there is enough?
Um, I think one of the problems there is like discoverability.
Um and what I wanna do is go through the side menu of the world browser sometime
and and just make sure that everything's tagged appropriately.
So if you put like game or games into your into your item,
it will appear in the games list, for example.
And I don't think enough worlds our games have that,
um, one of the other issues that we have as well when you think about it.
And this will happen this year because it happens all all years is,
um, every year someone's like I'll make a murder game,
right?
And then we've got, like, I don't know, we've got, like, five or six like, uh,
partially working murder games that exist.
You know,
uh, which one works. Don't know which one works. No idea.
I saw someone.
I don't know what it was, but I saw someone was making a world, and I'm like, Oh,
it's like the fourth time we've made that world.
Um,
II, I predict at some point within the next sort of couple of years,
someone's gonna go, Let's make another among us map.
But it's just like, yeah, we've got, like, four of those. Maybe just
use that one or edit it or, you know speak to the original authors and get it sorted.
Uh, so I.
I think it's a discoverability problem, but I also think it's a user problem.
So if you go on like VR chat, for example,
you can find
I don't wanna, like, say, a hard number, but probably like
up to 50 people playing murder right now on VR chat.
At all times of the day,
there's probably at least a couple of instances open
that are full enough to have a good game.
That doesn't happen here. We build games and then we don't play them
like, you know, we we we don't play them. We don't use the content that we make.
Um,
we had a great M MC last year, for example,
I haven't seen any of the M MC worlds open or being used,
Uh, for example, the winner of the World Social. That world isn't used socially.
The winner of World Game No one's playing that game
like it.
It's just like maybe we can focus on on on
on figuring out why the existing content isn't being used,
um, and stuff like that,
um Additionally, for those who are operating on a headless make sure you're,
you know,
checking what headless sessions you're you're using and worlds that you're using.
If you want to showcase some worlds that already exist,
swap your headless sessions over to that one.
Keep them. Keep them rolling, keep them smooth.
Uh,
you've already said the main exploration system
to alternate version control and github uh,
let's split that into two. So we would never not use git.
Git is the best version control management.
Um, these days there are others that exist,
and I know for certain other applications, others are more preferable.
Uh, for example, if you're doing an unreal product, um uh, project even, uh,
you'd use unreal thing.
I forget what it's called. Perforce or mercurial. Seems to come to mind.
I don't know if any of those,
but I don't know anything about it.
I just know that unreal products you usually use
that because it works better for unreal things.
I don't really know. Unreal that well, though,
Um,
but github
maybe. Um, So we talk a lot about costs, and
we can totally host uh, like GT or git lab.
Um, I like GT, but I don't really know why I haven't looked into them enough, um,
ourselves on our own servers,
Uh, and that would make it cheaper.
But it would also disconnect us from the community. Right.
So we're gonna be open sourcing more of our stuff.
Um, as we go, and once it's open source, it's free to be hosted.
Uh, and so that would put it back on github.
Um, so far,
the sort of direction that we've had from around is like we're using github
until we have time to figure it out.
And, um, one of the first things which, of course, I do think about But like,
it was good to be brought up.
One of the first things that Bob, um, a finance person on our team,
uh, brought to one of our meetings was
make sure that you keep an eye on how much time you're spending on
stuff and how much value that gives to both the community and the business.
And, uh, rehashing tooling in terms of github, et
cetera, and stuff like that probably isn't the best use of of stuff there.
There are issues that we have there,
but most of those issues are just sort of education and
how to use it from those team members that don't know github
well. Or,
uh, us forgetting that we've logged 200 internal issues that we need to go through.
Let's take a look at the next question.
Um,
Lou says, Uh, now that he's complete enough to be public, do you think
of
a
Sorry I went. It's a similar
there for a second.
Um,
do you have another large section of resonate you are planning to undertake?
Yeah, I wanna clear my assigned list on both internal and public.
Now that's what I wanna do.
Um, it's getting big, and I just wanna I clear it down. So there's a bunch of, um,
internal issues where I'm like these are easy,
um, a bunch of external issues where it's like these are easy. I just need to do them.
And now that we've got the first part of C I CD, it's a little bit easier to do them.
Having said that, though,
I did have an issue building some stuff yesterday for a
change I was making because C I CD wasn't complete.
For example, proto
flux it's the whole system isn't C I CD D
and I had an issue where my local, uh, copy of Proto
Flux is out of sync with, uh, the main branch. And so it wasn't compiling correctly.
Um, C i CD of proto
flux would fix that.
Uh, on C i CD. If proda
flux is done, we can then split up the Fri
engine project, which contains way too many way too many CS profiles,
if you know what that means.
Um, but yeah.
So my internal assignments and my external assigned
issues I'll just want to go through,
see, as many of those I can I can clear up as possible.
I also have a huge backlog of security issues. Now, I know that might seem alarming.
You might be like, Oh, resonate has a lot of security issues,
but 99% of those security issues are.
If I do X, the world crashes, so don't worry about that.
It's just like Doctor Doctor, it hurts when I do this, and right now,
those people just aren't doing that.
But we'll we'll fix it. So they didn't crash.
Um, but they are logged as security issues cos they're easier to, um,
easier to do crashes
do check out our security policy for more information about that,
uh, moving forward to Lex's question following off, uh, your answer to that prime?
What is your opinion on how well the yellow dog man team, um do does administration.
I call it like administration operations. Operations is, like,
technically, the the the big term for it. We're terrible at it.
Um, we're much better now,
but we're still terrible at it.
Um,
we forget things. We have meetings that run over.
We have meetings where we forget topics.
Uh, we have circular conversations all the time, but it's a learning process.
And it's a growing process because, like each,
um, additional member we add to the team comes in and they go like, this is a bit weird.
We should fix that, or like, yeah, we should,
um But where we get in there
particularly now, the holidays are over.
We should be able to get into, like, a steady state. Unfortunately, the lurgi
some sort of sickness has, uh, has has captured quite a few of us. Now, um,
that kind of happens when people travel.
So maybe once that clears out, we'll start getting there.
It's kind of better in that sort of area to, like,
ask about problems like I know problems.
I could talk about them for hours, but, like, II, I you know,
there's there's problems we're resolving.
There's problems that we we we don't need to resolve.
And there are problems that we are aware of,
but just kind of ignore it either accidentally or intentionally due to, you know,
how we spend our time.
Um, Easter says that we're not talking about games,
specifically just about content.
Uh, it'd be interesting, Basically, just to sort of expand on on on what?
That content that they're looking for.
Um, when it comes to myself, when I think about it, if I, like, remove
you
random adjunct here, this is gonna take a few minutes.
You guys know, like the pensive and the Harry Potter series, right?
Uh, wizards, basically, their brains were too full of too much information,
so they would dump parts of their memory into like a bowl of water.
Doesn't sound ideal. It doesn't sound stable or anything like that.
You know, it's like, Hm.
The stability of data storage. Like we're quite good, like solid state drives.
Quite good. you still need to back up, just in case they fry et cetera.
But they they're quite good at holding data.
A bowl of water compared to a solid state hard drive, uh, solid state drive.
A bowl of water is just gonna evaporate. Right.
But, um,
I would love to remove resonate from my head occasionally
put it in the bowl of water and be like,
All right, I'm done.
What do I want?
Um, and if I put my head into that space, uh, when I say content,
it's probably, uh, tutorials and avatars. Is is my guess.
Um, so not a lot of people want to come in and immediately import an avatar.
They just want it to work. Right? So maybe it's that I don't know tutorials.
Most certainly. Um, people need
to know how to use it.
Uh, wiki should help with that, but it we we just need to, like, sit them down.
Every time I see you like that, where it's not,
it's not detailed enough or elaborated enough.
I wanna like, pin them to the floor and be like, What do you mean?
Uh, cobalt scythe is new to the space. What is M MC
Um MC is a competition metaverse maker competition.
It's a competition that runs every year in February
and allows you to enter and create stuff.
Uh, you can take a look at more details. Um, epic East
linked, uh, to an explanation
post, um, epic
and talks about the IK system.
Being redone would make it easier to open source Resonate. I am tired of this rumour.
I am tired of this right.
We can open source
resonate tomorrow. IKIK related or not, we can open source resonate tomorrow.
Unity related or not, doesn't matter.
Unity or final IK are not preventing us from doing that.
We are preventing us from doing that.
People get really confused by that one.
They're like you can't do open source unreal projects.
And I'm like, tell that to the like game tutorial land, right?
They're doing it all the time. You can't do open source unity projects.
Tell that to the game tutorial land. They're doing it all the time like you can't open
source in a project that uses final a K. Trust me, there's a way to do it.
Uh, D
in says I need to resubmit security issues that are still Yeah. Yeah.
Any security issues?
Uh, Revie says any plans on advertising resume?
Um, ads? Probably not. Um, marketing?
Yes, Um, I was actually speaking to but not speaking to, but
asynchronously speaking to by typing in a discord channel,
um, chroma about some of the plans that we've got going on there.
Um, advertising.
No, no, no, no, we wouldn't, um we don't really have the budget to do so right now,
but we wouldn't do like, Hey, let's throw like 100 bucks or whatever it is,
it's probably 1000 bucks or closer to
10-K to at Facebook and be like, Yeah,
um, all the people playing candy Crush saga and they go back to their Facebook feed.
It's like, Can't play resonate Full body tracking. Yeah,
cos it's just it it it won't reach the the market that we need.
If you have specific angles or areas that you'd like to see,
marketing or advertising go,
let us know we're not gonna throw money at Twitter or Facebook to get ads anyway.
Yeah, so, unlike it is a a paid asset.
We we can't publish its source, but we can publish how we use it, right?
So it's got fully open source, um, documentation.
And so just publishing something that uses it is perfectly fine. Like so, like I.
I might actually put that on the Ms Page. It's It's It's ridiculous.
It's like we can open source it tomorrow.
Like I could do it right now, like fruits would like, freak out and yell at me,
et cetera.
But like, I could push the buttons right now, I'm never going to.
I would never break the trust of the team to do that.
But like, it is technically possible for me to do it right now.
So if you see anyone else saying that, you can just be like, No, you're wrong.
Um, moving forwards to additional questions. Uh, I see a tick on Rey.
So
I'm up to Rey. Uh, Eason says, Do you have a myth page on the wiki? I do.
I actually think I
did it, um, for, um for Resonate.
Uh,
really? Someone did? Yep. It's all up to date. Hold on.
So, like Hulu, uh, I don't know if you guys use Hulu, um, but,
um,
it will randomly start playing your show again.
And like I started watching an episode like yesterday had my computer,
like on all night, and I came back and, like, hoodoo just randomly went Oh,
you're watching the TV show now.
And it was just like noises happen. I don't even know what's going on.
Just paused. It look good.
Um,
you also see that we have an FA Q page on that wiki and that has,
uh, no for Cryptocurrency where we've artificially increased the font size,
so it's really obvious.
Uh, so, yeah, that's epic. Easton's question answered onto euphoria.
Uh, was resonate going to be called something different before resonate.
Additionally, what did early logos look like?
There's probably more a question for chroma. Who's got them. I could dig them up.
It would take a long time.
Um, we did have, like, a huge spreadsheet of names.
They were all sort of, um of a similar theme.
Um, the big name that we used to have was, um
yeah, that one. There we go. Apparently K.
Apparently Kroeber already did it.
So there we go. There's all the logos and all the names and stuff.
So we had, um, like, that sort of sphere logo um,
that one actually reminded me of, like, diced meat, so I'm glad we didn't go for it.
Um, And then, um, fruits pushed us towards the electron orbitals.
And so we did a bunch of those.
But there we go. Yeah.
Uh, Enver
said
this is a big question.
I appreciate your questions,
and I appreciate your work. Um,
I used to try and bring people here to this platform, but I've stopped now,
cos I'm tired of dealing with the existing user base that
seem to substitute R reality with severely rose tinted glasses.
I agree heavily. Representing how everything is not only that.
A constant fire hose of misinformation about other platforms which, if they spew,
uh,
people who actually use those platforms realise it's not true.
And just make the existing use space here seem sour and petty.
How do you think that can be dealt with any, um,
examples of that happening anywhere is something that we want to stamp out.
Um, double check our guidelines.
Um,
I don't think our like platform guidelines
have anything against defamation of other platforms.
Our discord guidelines most certainly do.
Um
uh, I'm aware of the roast tinted like introspection issue, which is where,
like people that have been playing resonate for a long time.
Go, Yeah, it's easy to import an avatar.
You just gotta, like, find the SVX file, then grab an inspector and blah blah, blah,
blah.
And I'm like, That's that's that's still complicated.
But,
um, I've not really got a handle on the the extra version or whatever word means like,
you know, other platforms like they shouldn't be bashing other platforms.
Um, they they saying, for example,
things like it is difficult for me to make an avatar on VR chat.
That's fine,
But saying VR chat makes it difficult to make avatars on purpose. That isn't, uh,
they have a second paragraph I didn't read. Sorry.
Uh, while being optimistic is one thing I feel, uh, it feels like a substitute.
Uh,
reality of what exists in my head instead seems highly detrimental in the long run.
Uh, I agree. Um,
you'll hear me talk about this a lot. And I, I don't I.
Other team members do feel the same frustrations,
but I don't think they talk about it enough as well.
It's like I
I hate
lots of parts of Resonate.
I don't want anyone to be offended by that.
And I don't want the team to be offended by that.
It's just those parts aren't finished. They aren't redesigned. They frustrate me.
They're annoying. They need better work.
Um, we just need to keep working on it and make it better.
And that's that question,
Uh, done so on to
Revis. Are we still calling resonant and
metaverse? Yeah, sure. You can call it whatever you want.
We'll have our own, um, like, marketing or or or branding or or or
technicalities et cetera that we use,
uh, provided you're using the guidelines.
You can, you know, you can resonate whatever you'd like. Um,
I disagree that the term Metaverse is is sullied.
Um, I want us to, like, reclaim language A lot of times, Um,
particularly when it comes from, uh, corporations
I'm gonna get like, like anti
capitalist hound for a second here, like corporations have been trying to, like,
trademark and steal words forever.
Some of them, even like stolen colours from us. It's just it's just ridiculous.
Like, um,
if you start being scared of words, we have a problem.
Here's an interesting question for you to consider are swear.
Words swear words because other people are offended
by them or because they're inherently bad.
If no one was offended by swear words, would they exist?
If your parents didn't tell you to be offended
by swear words and that you shouldn't say them,
would they be offensive to you?
I don't know.
I just I don't understand the concept of a swear word.
For example, I don't use them, um, in, you know, professional settings.
Because I know I shouldn't, but, like, I don't know why I shouldn't.
It's It's just like OK, cool.
Now that does not extend to, um, insult of slurs.
Um, that you're all probably thinking of now. I said the word slur.
What I mean is, you know, the the the ones that, like
your mother, will be like, don't say that young, young prime.
That's not good for saying
moving forward. Rampers Talking about, um, how people move the goalposts.
Basically, yeah, when we say, Hey,
those paid components aren't preventing us from open sourcing it, people.
Then go well open. Source it Now. I'll tell you why we can't open source it right now.
We're not ready to open
it. Now,
If you wanna say, why aren't you ready to open? Source it now.
We'll have a great conversation.
But if someone just says like, well, open source it. Now what's stopping you?
Fine. We can have a conversation about that.
But if they just say open, source it now, then like, ask questions like,
why can't we open?
Source it now? We're not ready. Why aren't we not ready?
I'll go into that. If someone asks.
Um
989. Please take a break.
Um, I'll answer your questions, but please, please, please take a break.
If you're drinking like drink water, go outside. See the sun
touch grass, please. You're doing a great work, but make sure you're resting too.
Um da
da da
da
English, please. OK,
980,
then says, uh, when it comes to types page on the wiki, the plan is to make scripts,
destroy extra references to the category types.
Yeah, Anything sort of automatic or or
or like, script? I
plan to sort out, for example.
Um, I wanna move all of the proto
flux nodes to their own name. Space. It'll J.
It'll make it better Trust me, I don't like having,
um, bracket
reflux bracket.
But I don't wanna make that change right now cos I don't wanna, like,
stifle the the editing, right?
I will do that once the editing dies down a little bit.
Cos I don't want to interrupt you guys like there's
lots of stuff I want to do on the wiki.
But I now have to wait for you guys to, like,
slow down in an area before I cos I don't want it to cause disruption.
For example, I've got a couple of extensions. Uh, sorry.
Excuse me That I need to install on the wiki.
Um, but if I installed them wrong,
the wiki will go down and your screen,
so it's like, Cool. You want this feature, but you're gonna scream when I install it.
Um, So you gotta, like, be careful about that sort of thing.
Uh,
question two from them.
A plan of yeat references. Deleted types?
Yeah, if if if something's not valid, we can delete it, and I can mass delete them.
Um, there's a point on the wiki where I did a a mass deletion,
and you should You should have seen it in a wiki log cos it was automated.
It was just like
prime deleted this and then this and then this and
then this and then this and it was all automated.
It was great.
Um,
9809. And then it says, uh, purging on templates. Yeah,
um, anything old we can we can like we can get rid of.
I know that, like the delete, um right isn't granted to people I have considered.
Uh, now I understand how wiki permission's doing.
Like making a slightly elevated one.
Of course, we've got the moderator right, Which I accidentally gave to Shri
Kozi
apologies. Once again, they were happy with it.
I was like, I could take it off from you guys.
I just didn't realise I'd accidentally give it to you.
Um, but I might want, like, a like trusted, um, rank or something.
And then a, a trusted rank might be able to delete pages. So I would give that to 989,
for example, But I wouldn't give it to someone who's only made like,
a couple of edits.
Uh, Easton says the next example. What you're talking about is Frisbee.
Yeah, there's there's a tonne. There's a tonne of words like that. Frisbee.
I'm like, OK, but I think because like it was the brand and then the the the term,
Rampa says.
Last time I ever remember anyone being called out for platform bashing.
I remember I just said that I don't trust easy anti
cheat. It started a giant dumb argument.
Is that platform bashing? Because it's uh uh,
yeah, Don't don't like saying that you don't support easy anti cheat is fine.
I had someone yesterday that was talking to me about League of Legends.
Now does like a kernel level anti cheat if you
wanna play league of Legends and I'm just like Oh,
cool guess I'm never playing League of legends again.
I love playing video games,
but I won't allow a video game to access like kernel level stuff on my computer.
That doesn't make sense.
Frick says some interesting information about the the swear word conversation.
Um,
they say, I don't think swear words are swear words,
because people are offended by them.
They can be expression of anger, frustration, contempt and so on.
You can see someone swear and not be offended like that person is angry, and he
heavily dislikes that.
Um, yeah, There's a film that stars Robin Williams.
Robin Williams is an amazing actor.
I keep meaning to, like, just do like, uh, all of his films.
I just wanna watch all of the films he's in.
Um
uh, I miss his films. Basically, um,
when I was growing up like, um,
a
another random tangent here when I was growing up like
random actors would die and my parents would be like,
Oh, that's sad, II.
I used to like so and so's work, and I'd have no idea who they were referring to.
The first example of that in my lifetime was Robin Williams.
When when he passed, I was like, Damn, uh, anyway, um,
but there's a film that he is in called Dead Poet Society or something like that,
um,
very artsy film where I think I'm getting a quote wrong.
But he says, when people are very sad, don't say very sad, say morose,
right? Morose means very sad.
Um, the English language has thousands of words that no one ever uses because we all,
like, gradually start speaking like a very simpler version of English.
I won't give it a name. It does have a name. But like it's,
you know, there are words everywhere that, like are fantastic at describing
exactly how you feel about a particular environment.
But when no one knows those,
it's it's natural that the standings become the extreme words.
And I do agree that the swear words are are used for extreme cases.
You know, if I stub my toe,
I know exactly what I'm going to say because I've stubbed my toe,
Uh, app and click.
Um
uh, am I the only one waiting for control issues to be fixed?
Um, just continue using it.
Um, but just because this is, you know, I've got the floor right now,
I really dislike the phrase.
Am I the only one
when it comes to video games development and anything like that?
Um, even when the servers are down, it's like, Am I the only one
and resonates down right now? It's like, maybe, but probably not.
It's just a phrase I don't I don't like, um,
let me take a look at your issue just for a second.
Uh, yeah. We need logs for that one, and we haven't received logs for that one.
So that's what's going on there. My mouse just died. It's, uh, a wireless mouse.
So give me a second whilst I pummelled my desk trying to find the
charging
area.
Uh, yeah. We need logs for that one.
you can see that. Freaks asked for logs.
Um, if we don't have logs there, we we don't really know what's going on.
Um, looking at the list, um, the this user Lewis has tested,
um, we have not many of those, like we've got some of those that the the team have, but
specifically, like development team, people don't have many of those.
If you look at an issue and you see like fruits asking for for for logs,
we need logs.
I did notice that freaks asked two minutes ago,
so it looks like they're way ahead of me on the questions list.
That makes sense.
I thought it said two months ago for a second there, but yeah, we need lots of, uh,
ultra wide gamer says,
what's the current state of switching to other options that are not patreon?
It seems that more people are having issues of lately with getting storage.
There are, like, three common issues with with with getting storage.
One is for some reason, I keep meaning to look into,
But I don't have time to cos of the wiki.
See how the on
word effective asking for more things creates turmoil in in
in my plans as well as the team's plans.
I wanted to look into this last month. Wasn't able to,
um, for some reason, patreon resets our API key periodically.
Um, And when that happens, patreon storage allocations go down,
and, uh, sometimes we don't notice it,
but we we've got a handle on sort of when it happens, So we keep an eye on it.
Um,
that is, you know, the first common issue. The second common one is just emails.
If you have any problem with, like, emails or not linking up,
open up a support ticket.
We will sort you out quickly.
And when you open up a support ticket, you need to work with us.
Like if you're not satisfied with the response that you get from a support ticket,
you need to tell us if we ask you a question in a support ticket,
you need to do your best to answer it or ask another question.
If you're not sure what we're asking, work with us until your issue is resolved.
Don't just open a ticket and then grumble off into the corner, Work with us.
And then the third issue there was
I forget, but, like, just make a ticket.
Uh, where it says any plans on improving the proto Flux browser? Yes.
We have plans on basically every piece of U. I still needs work.
Even the parts of the U I that we've already worked on still need improvement. Um, so
pro
Flux, No browser? Yes.
Um, Inspector? Yes. Component selector. Yes. Inventory. Yes. Contact screen.
Yes. Setting screen. Yes.
Like the world browser, which had a rework, um,
relatively recently compared to everything else.
Still needs work in some places, there's still some confusion points.
There's still some features we want to add to the world browser, et cetera.
So when it comes to U, I generically the the the th The thing is yes.
Um, added to that, though if you have any specific feedback about those,
particularly if it's like a smaller item, make sure you open up a
github issue so we can take a look into that.
For example, you might be experiencing something with a proto
flux browser that no one else is.
And so it would be best for you guys to to lock that as an issue. A.
And Ian
says based Prime. And I have no idea what I'm based about, but glad to hear it.
Uh, Dia says stand up comedy is also very good.
Apparently, I'm good at stand up comedy. I don't I don't know.
Um, yeah.
Uh,
Svein
says are there any roadblocks for adding component?
Fuck Search the base inspectors mods. Uh, sh yeah,
that one.
We need to wait till those are reworked,
but we could totally add in the same way that mods do.
We could add the searching, but we want to do it in a way that is is, uh I
don't want to use the word better cos it makes the mod sound bad. But, like, more
idiomatic, I guess, would be the right approach to say
there are no roadblocks and they removing roblox for basically anything.
It's just meaning time. Right? Um,
for example,
Fruits has been trying to work on the settings for
months and just keeps ending up on other things.
Now they're on 3D textures, and it's just like
it's like, you know, when you go on like a journey, Uh, in like a video game.
You're like, we've got to get to the castle to save the princess,
doing a couple of detours via the swamps of 3D textures and the
the mountain of Asset Vance system again,
Um, Appen says, How do I provide logs?
Oz's provided the link for that one.
I might take a look at, uh, updating that. Make it a little bit clearer. I don't know.
I just wanna give, like all articles I wanna give it like AAA once over hooray,
Frush
up to date and responding in turn. And then I scroll down and I see exactly what I said.
Just worded. Slightly different.
No roadblocks.
But we're looking to add these kind of features in a more sustainable way.
That's what I meant by idio idiomatic.
Uh, Athenian
says if users were, uh, to create concept
of you resonant U I for development consideration,
why won't you share something like this?
This is the sort of awkwardness you're free to do this.
I'm gonna start this with you're free to do this. Feel free to do it.
Feel free to share it. Feel free to give it to us but do not expect us to use it.
Um,
one of the problems that we have with U I
is that people assume that the the blocker for the U
I is that we don't know how to do U I design We know how to do U I design.
We are just stretched incredibly thinly.
Um,
there is so much going on. So much work that needs to happen.
Some areas look like they're being ignored.
But if you sat down with myself or fruits
or any member of the team and you said, what are your ideas?
What are your, um, features? What are the? You know, what are the goals of this area?
Fruits could probably talk for three hours. I could probably talk for an hour.
And other team members probably
same as well. Like we have plans for everything.
We just like the The gap is not that we don't
know how to do I design The gap is we need time
or we need a fruits cloning machine.
Um, so it's important to to keep that in mind.
Um, so feel free to do that.
If you want to do something like that, feel free to post it in some
github et cetera. But just just remember that we we're not obligated to use it.
And it's not the blocker.
Uh, Svein
says, Oh, we have flux. Uh, will we get dummy nodes again? Example Like the addition?
No, the auto changes, and it's plugged in.
Uh, just just
you can pick any and plug it in, and it will. Auto overload. Uh, dummy was confusing.
Um, so I think we got rid of that one. For now.
Just just plug in. Like, if you have, like, an in
ad and you want a float ad, just plug in a float.
It will sort itself out.
Uh, do you mean Robin Williams? I haven't seen any. Probably in stand up.
I should look into that.
I can get, like, quite ranty sometimes with, like,
random stories that people do say are funny.
But there we are. Ask me about the humidification chamber sometime.
Um
ior
bus says, How are the plans for the fruits cloning machine coming along. Not good.
Although, speaking of cloning,
um, I'm gonna link I don't do this a lot, but I'm gonna do it this one time.
There is a two player puzzle platformer adventure kind of thing,
and, uh,
it's
really cute.
So I recommend taking a look at it. Uh,
jinx says I'm trying to add a glitch effect to some text. Any tips or ideas?
I'd need to see a like, uh, an animation or a video of what you're you're looking at,
uh, for response to the resonate U. I, uh, designs et cetera.
Uh, you can do this, but it's probably not going to help us too much at this stage.
A lot of the stuff, uh, that blocks U I work is more technological.
We have custom U I framework that's made from scratch.
So a lot of the U I pieces we just need to design
and write code to be actually be able to do that.
U I compared to other projects that use existing U I frameworks.
Other part that blocks a lot of things is the
underlying architecture and features what the U I is for,
say, for example, the search bar in inventory.
Adding a piece of U I by itself is simple.
Uh, but if the back end doesn't support searching, that will not do anything.
All the work well, there will go towards enabling search on the back end,
making it fast and responsive, but also cheap.
We don't wanna balloon our infrastructure. Clus.
Yes, Uh, search is very expensive, unless you do it correctly.
Also, remember that the, um,
design paradigms that we're going for using facets and even the entity in, uh,
interface system
means that once new parts of the system support facets or
support entity interfaces, you'll be able to make your own.
No one has done this to a large extent that I've seen apart from Eastern,
Um, but, for example, you can change the world loading animation.
You can change the,
uh, video browser. You can change the the sound.
You can change the way this text is rendered.
Um, I've seen tweaks to the video player and tweaks to some of those,
but I haven't seen anyone do like a a completely new look and feel.
I wanna do a tutorial on that one.
At some point to to sort of show you how to do that as well.
Cos not many people realise that that can happen.
Um, what I saw Easton do was replace the resonate, um,
logo in the world loading indicator with their head.
You can absolutely do that.
But that again was just an edit you could make from scratch completely by yourself.
A new,
um, world loading indicator.
You know, for example, maybe you don't like the fact that we use a dark mode.
I now you could make a a light mode. U I version. You could do like a Windows 95
world loading indicator.
Or you could do like a Windows 95 hot dog stand mode.
Remember, Cos Windows, um, earlier versions of windows had, like,
colour schemess, and one of them was called hot dog scan,
and it made everything red and yellow.
There's a couple of, um, nine slice images that make, uh,
like a windows effect really easy.
They make, like the the old sort of windows button look good.
Uh, that is also like fruits Never wants to do duplicate work.
So some of the settings work is gonna be used
for the inspectors and I can already see that happening.
That's also why, um, in the dev
log, you'll see that fruits
is experimenting with that rework and
an inspector, right,
Because it's got a lot more sort of data richness to it right now.
At least if you guys have further questions, please do let me know.
But we are at time, and my dog has just
up and probably wants to go out.
So there we go.
Uh, game the cup dog says, uh, I'm not sure where else to ask.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. English, please.
Um I'm not sure where else I could ask about this Are
the new U I parts going to have functionality for creators?
It depends what you mean by that. Um, I.
I just finished talking about how yes, we're gonna make it so that
you guys can edit it. Facets, Entity interfaces. You can expect a lot more of those.
Um, but you can you can You can, you know, elaborate. If you've got any particular
items that you're, uh you're hearing about Hi, dog. Yeah. Dog's licking my face now.
Hey,
yo.
Hi.
Wake up.
What's up? What's up? Hi.
Hey,
That's tea. You can't drink that tea. Actually, you probably can. I don't know.
Let me see.
OK, basically, dogs can drink tea,
but not if it's sweetened and avoid,
uh, caffeinated tea for dogs.
Dogs begin to experience the symptoms of caffeine toxicity
when they consume nine milligrammes of caffeine per pound,
they weigh Well, this dog weighs
£10
so they would need 90 milligrammes, and they would start being toxic to caffeine.
I'll read some stuff. Um, that's that Ruth has said I.
I like adding it to the recording cos
it's it's knowledge that doesn't get preserved elsewhere.
Um,
lots of the old U. I has, um, uh its own implementation for a lot of stuff.
Yeah, um, good example. Being in the context, right. So context is
entirely bespoke for just context.
And inventory is entirely bespoke just for inventory.
Well, actually, some of the inventory logic is shared in the file browser,
but still like it's bespoke,
whereas what we really want is a generic system that can render a grid of items
and it could be a grid of inventory items,
a grid of files on your hard drive or a grid of contacts or maybe a grid of badges later.
Uh, they also say the overall approach for taking the U I and things.
Uh,
and the code sign promotes most of the framework and data structure than
the actual pieces we can design as much as we want in game.
I'm paraphrasing cos it's difficult to read. Sorry.
Um,
not anything you're doing for it, cos it's just
I'm bad at reading.
Uh,
that way our content team can handle a good chunk of the work
and you can take them apart and modify and make your own versions,
too.
It makes it both easier on us to paralyse work,
makes it simpler and make it available for the community to play with.
Two,
second is so extra audio files. I understand.
Uh, it's time needs to be invested finding a library issue 216 with Opus.
Is there a reason the existing Opus Library can be used to play Opus audio clips?
It is, isn't it?
Confusion.
Um, please elaborate. I'll read two si, uh 216 After this,
um,
frigg talks about how the OD wires are hard coded monoliths which
are hard to work with hard to customise and hard to edit.
Even just adjusting something like an offset of a
button or spacing requires whole resonate to be recompiled,
which is very painful.
Sometimes we kind of gave up when it's
good enough after spending a few hours tweaking,
he is a perfect example of that.
So the, um, folders in resonate were changed to have a,
um, shorter height
and a bigger width. Um, you'll have seen that.
But what that did was that broke the little blue, um,
triangle that appears when it's a public folder cos that used to be on the top left
and that now more in it is more likely to intersect with text in the top left.
So prime moved it to the top, right,
But that took five or six recompilation of the entirety of the game to do.
Um, co
says sure, this is a no, but the VC is saved in case people miss the answers. Um, yeah.
On my to do list for today is get, uh,
the office hours website up to date with all office hours.
Um, I'm I'm tired of it being,
um, out of sync. Um, that was mostly caused by the wiki again.
Remember, when you ask for stuff, it makes other stuff go slower.
Um, so it's on my to do list for today is get all the office hours up on the, uh,
the office hours site.
Uh, so you'll be able to see
historical ones are already there, but we're missing some,
basically from December and January, so I'll get that sorted.
Uh, spec
says when you import an opus file, it doesn't normally import as an audio clip. Uh,
and FRU says
audio clips use opus streams in some container format EGOGOGG
the opus library codes the raw opus bits stream,
but it cannot extract the data from OGG.
It cannot handle stuff like seeking and getting meta
data about the clip link and so on.
So it all need to be rele.
I never like you ask, like any question to fruit, cos he's like, yeah,
we need to rewrite that.
It's perfectly understandable fruits and I'm here to help,
but it it sometimes I'm just like
uh
oh, yeah,
Oh, yeah, I So I so implemented not reim implemented, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaking of, um, see if I can find it quickly. If I can't, I'll I'll give up.
I can't talk about it till I find it cos I don't know if I can find it.
Yeah. Speaking of, like importing and stuff like this, Fruits
was talking to, um, a few of us about this particular issue here. 1164.
It's exciting. 1164 is very exciting. So take a look at that one.
And yeah, there's the link office hours dot problem
home.co UK I might move that to like office hours.resonate.com at some point,
but then it would need to be more professional than mine, which is like, comic sense.
Uh, with that we are at time, however, jinx and
zieger you are typing, so please feel free to ask questions if you have, uh,
jinx your your text question I.
I don't have the ability to answer that in the office hours here.
I'd have to think about it and take a look.
I encourage you to post in questions and help, and someone will take a look for you.
Zig,
if you had a question, please go ahead and enter it Now.
You are the last person that is allowed to um, submit a question to this office hours.
No pressure
by no pressure. I mean, I'm going completely silent till you stop typing.
Did you guys hear that?
That was a dog bark. Hi.
Hey,
yo,
you've got eye
boogers, dog.
No one tells you the gross things you have to do
when you own a dog like one of them being Ah,
yes.
I have to clean my dog's eye
boogers.
OK, we're gonna cut off here, and, uh, I will go speak to you guys
later.
I'm gonna take this dog out for a walk.
They are looking through the smallest gap in my curtains and barking at cars.
My curtains are closed during the day cos they bark at cars. We're working on it.
Um, but they bark
at cars
and there's like a I don't know, it must be like an inch gap in my coat.
So they're bulky. It cause through it.
Speak to you guys soon. I'll I'll, uh uh,
get back to you on any questions you got later.
